Dolphins' OLB Joey Porter is a big, fat, stupid-head

by MaPatsFan on Sep 18, 2008 12:32 PM EDT

File this under, "Story most likely NOT to be quoted in the Boston Globe." ;-) Many dumbass things were said about the Patriots last year. One that tipped the scales of dumbassery was Steelers' safety Anthony Smith "guaranteeing a win" against the Patriots. He was later torched by a Brady to Moss bomb, after which Brady got in his face and had a few words. Later on, in the same game, a Brady-Moss-Brady-Gaffney fleaflicker embarrassed Mr. Smith yet again. But this isn't about Anthony, it's about Joey.

If you recall, Joey Porter, in another act of dumbassery, was one of the only NFL players to speak out against Spygate. Well, Joey's at it again. Mad props to our links guru, Marima, for finding this and giving me a reason to rant...again. Now, I can see Colts' WR Marvin Harrison feeling like his team is going to post another W. Or even QB Trent Edwards of Buffalo. Heck, Buffalo may be the yardstick for the AFC East this season. But, both these guys have too much class and brains to say anything.

It's one thing if you have the chops and record to back it up. Even then, it's good to stay quiet because what goes around, comes around. Porter, on the other hand, is a loudmouthed zipperhead playing for an 0-2 team. I never wish harm or injury on ANY player, but it is my solemn wish that we introduce LaMont Jordan to Joey during an option or screen, maybe even a run play. LaMont's cleat marks on the back of Joey's helmet would be nice to see. While we're at it, how about former Dolphin Wes Welker juking around him so fast he trips over his own feet?

We'd never target Joey. No way. Not like we targetted Anthony Smith. Bill would NEVER do that, would he?

The National Football Post's response to Joey Porter

Michael Lombardi puts Porter in his place:

I am sure some of this tone is not as strong as it appears, but when you play on a defense that allows over 70% completion and a high quarterback rating, the best thing you might want to do is just be quiet. Porter is a passionate player and does not know how to bite his lip. I am very sure the Dolphins are all over him today to keep his thoughts to himself. Yes, the Pats will be different, but when you have played as badly as the Fins have in the secondary, you might be able to make anyone look good.

Keep the faith!

My response to Porter?

It is still so infuriating to remember that loudmouth poser spouting off anywhere and everywhere about spygate, and how the evil Bill Belichick cheated the Steelers out of a win in the AFC Championship game. But I have a message for him:

Hey Porter!

Maybe if you caught the gift Drew Bledsoe put into your gut and stepped into the end zone for a touchdown, instead of DROPPING IT, your team might have won in 2002.

Or maybe it might have helped if someone, ANYONE, stops Troy Brown from returning that short punt for a touchdown???

How about a healthy Bettis? Maybe a QB that throws more to his own teammates than to the Pats in the 4th quarter?

Oh, no, it MUST have all been the fault of the tapes.

There. I feel better now.

Keep the faith!

my thought on it...

is he serious? who talks like that. especially at that level of play.
i say zip it, and bring your best game on sunday.
‘the boys’ are gonna brings theirs.

i like that about the pats, they don’t flap their mouths,
their play ‘speaks’ for them.

moss

he concerns me a little, to be honest, because i am not sure he will
bond with cassel like he did with brady. that could be a problem.
or maybe i should just wait and see :)

Who's the idiot?

You are for your “I know everything and you patriots fans are all the same” attitude, I don’t need to make any counter points, all rational people have to do is read your rants.

Honestly

I SAW the tape of Porter as he said it, and now seeing it as before I just read it, I do think it’s being taken out of context a little.

I know

I heard it too. Joey’s always good for a few sound-bites and I figure the microphones were all there to capture the pearls they just KNEW were going to come out of his mouth. If you heard Anthony Smith’s actual interview last year, he clearly made a rookie-mistake in letting the media lead him with the questions right into the ultimate trap of “so, you’re guaranteeing a win?” Granted he didn’t have to answer in the affirmative, but I’m guessing it’s a mistake he won’t make again with any other team. Sometimes you just have to get burned before you learn.

Keep the faith!

Still

….to The Lip….

There’s a difference between Fans boasting about their team and the players doing the same thing.

We Pats fans can get seriously braggy about our team and rag on other teams/players, on the other hand the Pats players keep their mouths shut and praise the other team to an insane level, giving ’em their props.
